back in ljubljana

hot hot hot.

ljubljana got up to the high 30s today (42 on one over-excited thermometer), so there wasn't really much to do except practice walking very slowly around the city. luckily the old town is a small place, and there's not really that much to do. we headed over to metelkove, the 'christiana' of ljubljana, but it was too early in the day for much to be happening there except for some very impressive graffiti.



for dinner we boldly ventured 500m out of the super-central tourist zone to a middle eastern restaurant. and weren't we richly rewarded! fantastically yum lentil soup, fragrant rice, prune saucey stuff and turkish coffee. it was a bit sad though that we were the only customers. too far from the crowds it seems.

late night movie of the day at the only interesting english language cinema we could find was elephant. neither michelle nor i had seen it before, and both felt rather shocked and stunned afterwards. which is rather the point i suppose. the film is not condescending nor preachy, but is observant, subtle, involving and beautiful.
